[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9860697, member: 7033171"] I think its absurd to ask "why are you even GMing" if you have some aspects that feel like work or not enjoying that much. I yet have to encounter any hobby / freetime activity where I love every aspect. Its more rational to try and minimize the stuff you don't like and focus on what you enjoy. I for example tend to procrastinate hard map work, technical preperations etc. - so I run mostly TOTM with improvised abstract maps on a gridded battle map. I also hate to juggly a lot of enemy and NPC stat blocks - so I use simplified stat blocks and improvise the rest. Pre games nerves I also get even after all these years, especially if last session is a bit longer ago or when its a new group of players or a new campaign. But I played tons of amateur theatre in my teens and twenties, so I am used to stage fright and learned even to use it to my advantage - adrenaline is a hell of a drug! [/QUOTE]
